Consider executing a Social Service Agency Annual Funding Agreement with Williamson County
Children's Advocacy Center.
City leadership developed a process to receive and evaluate funding requests from social services
agencies. This process was followed by a seven member team of Councilmembers and City staff to
review the agency applications and make funding recommendations. The recommendations are made
utilizing criteria outlined in the application. The agency's project must meet a municipal public purpose
and must benefit an acceptable number of Round Rock citizens. Funded agencies are required to submit
performance reports that reflect the impact they are making in the Round Rock community.
The Williamson County Children's Advocacy Center will use these funds to provide a safe and child
friendly center for child and teen victims to disclose and describe details about abuse, sexual and/or
physical and interview children and teens who may have witnessed a serious crime or who may be at risk
for abuse. Funding has been allocated in the 2016-2017 operating budget for this agency. This agreement
outlines the terms and conditions.
